Marie Newman for Illinois’ 3rd District

December 3, 2017

The American Women’s Party enthusiastically endorses Marie Newman based on her strong platform supporting a women’s right to bodily autonomy, LGBTQ rights, healthcare expansion, and gun sense laws. Newman is challenging anti-choice candidate Dan Lipinski for the Illinois 3rd congressional district seat. Dan Lipinski has consistently voted against women’s rights and opposed LGBTQ rights in the name of “religious liberty.” We can no longer accept Democratic candidates who sideline or oppose the rights of women and LGBTQ people. The American Women’s Party is committed to endorsing strong candidates like Newman who will fight for the rights of women and marginalized groups.
The American Women’s Party joins groups such as NARAL, The Human Rights Campaign, Feminist Majority, and Off the Sidelines to endorse this pro-choice, pro LGBTQ, pro ACA candidate for the Illinois 3rd.
